misplaced priorities

Damn, file this under pathetic and sad, Americans spend more time with PC than spouse. “A recent survey conducted by Kelton Research discovered what many spouses have known for years. A startling 65% of people asked to participate spent more time with their household PC than with their own spouse. The survey also found that 52% of those same people said their “most recent experience with a computer problem provoked emotions such as anger, sadness or alienation.” Among other things noted in the findings were that a staggering 84% of those surveyed said that they were “more dependent on their home computer now than they were just three years ago.” If this isn’t a wake up call to folks to get a life then I suspect psychology will be a booming business in 20-30 years…not to mention divorce court.
